1996 Chevy S-10 - In Your Eye

Drivin, Not Stirred

Ryan Arsenault is one of those guys that you see everywhere. Not just because he built one killer S-10, but because he really does drive this thing everywhere!

Ryan has spent the last seven years of his life building, tweeking, perfecting, and enjoying his Dime. With the help of a few friends and shops, Ryan has constantly worked on making his truck better every step of the way, and over the years he's always tried to bring new mods to his ride before the next guy.

As an East Coast staple in the minitruck scene, Ryan has received tons of influence from buddies like Dan Mayhew, who helped Ryan shape his truck into the work of art that graces these very pages. Building a functional truck that not only brings home the trophies, but also serves as cruising enjoyment, is Ryan's biggest accomplishment. Ryan wanted to ensure that he could jump in and drive state-to-state so the suspension was tended to with his own hands. Ryan also dived in and gave a helping hand to help out Extreme Lines in the task of smoothing out the body.

All in all, this special issue pays homage to all the S-10s out there that carve their own creative niche out of one of the most popular trucks to ever hit the planet. As an added bonus Ryan also braves the open road and risks the rock chips, the damaged roll pans, the door dings, blown 'bags, and all the other things that can really piss us off! And as one of these guys, he really gets to enjoy his truck in its entirety. We look forward to seeing what's next.
